Orphanage Update

8/4/08

Weight: 30 pounds
Height: 37 inches

Steady Keane is going along contently. He is becoming more verbal calling housemates and nannies by name. He still eats a lot and sleeps a lot – more than anyone else. His nanny laughs about it. We all know that Keane is the man when it comes to food and sleep.

He gives life his all. He loves balls, racing the bikes with the other kids (he has not been the winner yet – slower and steady) and loves to climb. Up the window of course.

He is doing OK on the potty and uses it correctly most of the time. He is getting it slow but sure.

Spaghetti remains his favorite food although if it’s food he’ll eat it. He screams a lot, plays hard, sleeps hard, runs hard and just lives life with gusto. We like him!

Just happened upon your blog. I am incredibly interested and fascinated by adoption. You are doing amazing things in your family, amazing. You've inspired me and reignited my hope to join in the adoption "fun" one day. Your process with Keanan seems especially difficult, but what a miraculous journey. Thanks for sharing your story.

I've been meaning to ask you, what agency are you going through to bring Keanan home?

We are adopting through Heartline Haiti, but Dillon did our homestudy.
